Darrin Haas

Darrin Haas is identified as the individual who was fatally shot by Tennessee National Guard soldiers in Memphis. The incident occurred around 4 a.m. on a Sunday as the soldiers were responding to a report of gunfire. Authorities stated that Haas turned and allegedly pulled a gun on the troops during a chase, leading to the shooting. The National Guard had been controversially deployed to Memphis in October by Governor Bill Lee to support federal efforts. Haas's death is a recent development stemming from this deployment, highlighting the ongoing tensions and potential dangers associated with the presence of National Guard troops in community safety patrols, such as those conducted as part of the Memphis Safe Task Force.
